Ancestor Above

No, it was much more valuable than 310000 spiritual stones. With so many foundation building pills, he would definitely be able to sell them for three hundred and ten thousand spirit stones. However, even if he had that much money, he would definitely not be able to buy so many foundation building pills. No power would sell foundation building pills in such large quantities.

Lu Qing then realized that the Lu clan would not be able to digest so many foundation building pills.

If the Lu clan wanted to find 31 ninth-tier Qi refining cultivators, they would definitely be able to do so.

But then again, was the value of the foundation building elixir just to cultivate a foundation building cultivator? That was a very short-term thought. If that was all, the foundation building pill wouldn’t be so expensive.

The Foundation Stage was a huge threshold for cultivators on the road of cultivation. For high-level cultivators, this was even more important than entering the Qi refining stage. This gate of death had blocked countless people, but those who crossed it would have a much greater future.

No matter how strong a cultivator was, they still had to cross this door.

The path of cultivation was naturally more and more difficult. The difficulty of each of the barriers from Foundation establishment to initial enlightenment, initial enlightenment to golden core, and golden core to nascent soul was greatly increased compared to before. All of them required the cultivator to exhaust his mind, wisdom, talent, and property to cross.

But to be honest, if you only looked at the passing ratio, then from the Qi cultivating stage to the foundation building stage, the number of people who were filtered out was the most. Furthermore, the price of failing to break through was also the highest.

Under such circumstances, although it was still difficult to break through the foundation building stage and enter the initial enlightenment stage, it was relatively less difficult.

As for the Lu clan, as long as they had a certain level of talent, the Lu clan would be able to provide them with sufficient resources to allow them to take a step further on the path of cultivation. Furthermore, there was still Lu Qing, the ancestor who had the system, who could give them another push.

Even so, Lu Qing did not plan to give every ninth-tier Qi refining cultivator in the Lu clan a foundation building elixir.

This reason was very simple. For some cultivators who barely reached the ninth level of Qi refining when they were close to 60 years old, did they also have to give each of them a foundation building pill?

Some might only have four or five spiritual roots; Some people didn’t have good comprehension, while some people might have good talent, but they weren’t very diligent in cultivation, not hardworking or serious.

There were all sorts of situations.

Especially the last point, don’t think that in the world of immortal cultivation, everyone can work hard to cultivate, that’s nonsense. Hard work, perseverance, diligence, and seriousness were all rare qualities among humans.

For the vast majority of cultivators, the foundation building elixir was a necessary item to break through the foundation building gate. However, one must know that even if they ate this elixir, they might not be able to build their Foundation. In the end, it would still fall on the cultivator himself.

For those cultivators who were not talented to begin with, had low comprehension, a weak temperament, and had a bad attitude, even if they managed to get a foundation building pill, the probability of breaking through would be very low.

If he failed, the 10000 spirit stones would be wasted.

There was no need to give it to such a person. Even if they managed to barely reach the Foundation Stage, it would be difficult to predict their future development. If they stayed in the early stage of the Foundation Stage for their entire lives, it would actually be meaningless.

Of course, there were few such people in the Lu clan. After all, after Lu Qing persevered in improving the talents of the younger generation of cultivators in the clan and improving the cultivation environment, the geniuses in the general sense of the word in the Lu clan had started to appear in piles. Of course, there was nothing Lu Qing could do about the mayflies that did not have spiritual roots or had five spiritual roots. Lu Qing could not pull them up too high even if he did.

However, with the current population of the Lu clan, there were not many people who could be chosen to use the foundation building pill. Moreover, he had to keep some for future seedlings that could use.

There was no need to worry too much about this matter at the moment. The Lu family had already made the corresponding regulations in advance. The cultivators of the clan needed 10000 clan contribution points to exchange for the foundation building elixir. Most of the Qi refining stage cultivators couldn’t afford it. Even if they borrowed from the side branches with close relations, it would be difficult to borrow so many contribution points. In the past, when Ming Ling and the others exchanged for foundation building pills, they needed the clan to provide them with a ‘loan’. They would owe the contribution points first.

In the future, if there was a Qi refining cultivator from a clan who could offer enough contribution points, then as long as the clan had foundation building pills, they would definitely exchange them for it. Since the rule of clan contribution points was established, it must be maintained.

However, for those who could not contribute so much at the moment but had great potential for development in the future, the family could allow them to owe the money first. If they did not have good development potential and had a bad attitude, they would not be given loans.

In short, the Lu family had to walk a path of sustainable development.

In addition, apart from his own use, the foundation building pill was also a very good thing to rope in external strength.

For example, if the vassal clans could get a foundation building elixir from the Lu clan every few decades, it was obvious that they would become very dependent on the Lu clan.

This was especially useful for mu Yangcheng.

If he really became an initial enlightenment cultivator, then the Lu clan would be willing to invest a foundation building pill in him in the future for his proud disciple or any descendant to use-of course, they would have to pay-this would also bring the relationship between the two closer. After all, now that he had become an initial enlightenment cultivator, even if he had always been the Lu clan’s vassal or subordinate, his status would still be different from before, and he would more or less have to be roped in.

......

As for the supply of foundation building pills, the Lu clan had used up eight of them in the following year.

One was given to mu Yangcheng, allowing his closest disciple to become a foundation building cultivator; Three pills were returned to the sect, and the cultivators who had participated in the North Army exchanged them for foundation building pills. He had exchanged for a total of six pills. Three of them were enough for the Lu family to get all kinds of low-level goods from the sect, but the remaining three were not given to him by perfected yunxuan.

This couldn’t be helped. The landlord family didn’t have any surplus grain. Not only was the Lu clan getting foundation building pills from the sect, but the hai clan was also getting them. The sect’s internal demand for such pills had always been there. It was very difficult for them to take out so many at once.

Knowing that even if they forced Yun Xuan to his death, it would be very difficult to force out more foundation building pills, the Lu clan did not make things difficult for him and agreed to give him the other three pills, saying that they would make up for it after some time.

This was naturally from the batch of foundation building pills that Lu Qing had just refined.

As for the other four, the clan had arranged for a group of reliable cultivators with a certain amount of potential to be used.

Other people’s situation aside, out of the four people in the Lu clan who had taken the foundation building elixir, three of them had successfully built their Foundation.

Among them, the one that Lu Qing was most concerned about was the child that his second son, Lu chaoheng, had reincarnated into, Lu mingheng.

Lu mingheng had fire and wood double spiritual roots-this was, of course, the talent that Lu Qing had raised for him back then-his performance when he was young was very outstanding. He practiced Qi at the age of ten, and by the time he was 23, he had already entered the ninth level of Qi refining.

Speaking of spiritual roots, his current spiritual root was exactly the same as Lu Qing’s natural spiritual root in the past. He was also cultivating the infinite flame mantra that Lu Qing had been cultivating.

Now, at the age of twenty-six, he had already polished his own realm very smoothly. He even wanted to break through on his own for a time, but he was dissuaded.

He had also participated in this trip to the North barren forest, but because of the problem with his cultivation method, he was not able to join the cloud cavalry.

Even so, he still made a lot of contributions and could be considered as one of the best among the many cultivators in the Lu clan.

The 10,000 contribution points required to exchange for the foundation building elixir were far from what he had saved up and obtained through his contributions in the war. Even if he borrowed from other branches, it would be difficult to borrow so much in a short time.

However, there was no doubt that Lu mingheng was a talented junior who had a promising future since he was able to face the breakthrough of the foundation building stage at the age of 20. This was in line with the scope of the debt allowed by the family.

And after he took the foundation pill, he had without a doubt become a Foundation cultivator.

He would also be a very good initial enlightenment seedling in the future. At this rate, if there were no major problems in the future, it was very likely that he would reach the ninth-tier foundation building realm by the age of seventy or even sixty. He had the hope of breaking through to the initial enlightenment realm. And if he could reach the initial enlightenment stage earlier, the sufficient lifespan he had later could even support him to break through to the Golden core stage!

After that, Lu tingchou also roughly came up with a plan to use the foundation building elixir. In the future, the Lu clan would probably release a batch of foundation building pills every two years, about two to five pills, depending on the situation of the applicants that year.

He planned to release about 20 foundation building pills in ten years and strive to cultivate at least 16 foundation building cultivators with a bright future for the clan.

In the future, the Golden lotuses that the family had harvested this time should be produced. There should still be some foundation building pills left in this batch, but at that time, it would mainly depend on the production of golden lotuses, the number of completed pills, and how long it would take to release a batch of foundation building pills, and who they would release them to.

All in all, from now on, the Lu clan would become a famous clan that could steadily Cultivate Foundation building cultivators.

If they could steadily Cultivate Foundation establishment cultivators, they would not have to worry about a shortage of family inheritance.

...

This was also the threshold to enter the so-called ‘famous sect’.

There was no such clan in the Feiyun state. Even the hai clan had not achieved this. Only the Gongsun family of Liao County could reach this level.

And now, there was the Lu Corporation.

Although the Lu family might not be as powerful as the Gongsun family, which had been around for thousands of years, in terms of overall strength, the Lu family was much more powerful.

As for the little bit of Foundation he lacked, it could be made up for with some time.

......

A year passed by quickly.

Chaoxi came out of the spirit gathering temple.

According to his own description, he clearly felt that he had stayed in the spirit gathering temple for ten years. When he came out, he was already a cultivator in the fifth level of the initial enlightenment stage. Compared to when he first entered, his strength had increased by an entire level.

In the outside world, only a year had passed.

This proved that the spirit-gathering temple had the magical effect of changing the flow of time, just as it said.

...

After staying outside for a few days, Lu chaoxi felt that he really had nothing else to do. Hence, he decided to enter again and cultivate in seclusion for ten years.

After preparing all the things he needed for cultivation, he entered the spirit gathering holy temple again.

However, after the same operation as last time, he entered the spirit gathering temple and found that everything was blurry.

He didn’t dare to sit down and cultivate.

Last time, he still clearly remembered that after he entered the Holy sanctum, the furnishings and the scene in the Holy sanctum should have gradually become clearer.

What was this situation?

He was not puzzled for long before his father’s voice rang in his ear.

“You can come out first.”

He was brainless, but he would definitely listen to his father.

Lu Qing sighed.

He was in the middle of cultivation when he suddenly saw a system message.

It just so happened that he wasn’t at an important juncture in his cultivation, so he clicked on it and took a look.

They had thought that a new Qi refinement cultivator had appeared in the family, or that someone had settled a low-level crusade outside. In the end, he realized that it had nothing to do with those things. It had happened to his son.

Lu chaoxi was denied entry to the spirit gathering temple.

Actually, it wasn’t really a rejection. It was just a notification.

......

[ detected that family member Lu chaoxi has entered the spirit gathering holy temple many times recently. [ hint: in order to prevent the body and soul of the clan members from being damaged, the effect of the time flow will be reduced by 30% if you enter it a second time within a short period of time. There may also be hidden dangers. ]

[ do you accept? ]

......

Nonsense, he definitely pressed ‘no’.

If the effect had become 30%, then why did he let chaoxi in? Couldn’t it be someone else?

Moreover, there was still the word ‘hidden danger’ behind it.

Although he didn’t say what exactly the hidden danger was, as long as it was a hidden danger, it was best not to have it.

Lu Qing did not know that one could not enter the spirit gathering temple continuously. At least, he did not know about it under the description of the spirit gathering temple.

Since that was the case, the plan to focus on directly cultivating a Jindan would be directly ruined!

Lu Qing was a little depressed.

He then went to check how long the so-called ‘short term’ was.

The results varied from person to person. Currently, it seemed that Lu chaoxi would need three years (in real time) to completely digest the effects of the flow of time on him. As for the others, since they had not entered, they could not find out the results.

what a good saying,’it varies from person to person’. Lu Qing scratched his head. but this doesn’t have much of an impact, right? at most, it will take ten years to train one person, but it will become thirty years to train three people, right? ”

it seems that the system wants me to share the benefits equally. I can’t just favor one person, hehe.

As for the year’s entrance fee for Xuanji spirit-gathering temple, he had already paid it, so he definitely couldn’t waste it.

It would be fine if someone else went in.

This time, let Zhu chaojin enter.

......

Another year had passed, and Ming Chao also walked out of spirit gathering Holy Palace.

Ten years had passed, but not many traces could be seen on her.

However, her strength had already been greatly enhanced.

After ten years of bitter cultivation, mingchao had crossed two levels and entered the fourth level of the initial enlightenment stage.

Before she entered, she was actually not far from the third level of the initial enlightenment stage. According to what she said, in the second year of entering the spirit gathering holy temple, she successfully entered the third level of the initial enlightenment stage. Then, she spent another eight years to break into the fourth level.

Lu Qing also realized that mingchao would need four years to get rid of the effects and hidden dangers of the passage of time on her.

As expected, this matter varied from person to person. Mingchao’s tolerance in this aspect seemed to be worse than chaoxi’s.

Chaohe was also envious of his brother and sister, who had entered the divine temple and had risen one rank and two ranks respectively in just a year. Although he knew that his brother and sister had stayed in spirit-gathering temple for ten years, he could sense that it had only been a year!

Of course, it would be his turn to enter this time.

After he entered, the family’s spirit gathering temple could also be opened to foundation building cultivators, and each person could choose to enter and take a look. After he came out, chaoxi could also enter. After chaoxi entered, mingchao could also enter the foundation building realm.

In short, he had to make good use of this spirit-gathering temple!

......

During Ming Chao’s one year in spirit gathering holy temple, some things happened in the family.

The transplant of the Golden Lotus was finally done.

The Lu family had brought back a total of 50 golden lotuses from the northern wilderness forest. Most of them were from the Eagle Valley. There were also two of them in the treasure vault of the divine Deer Forest.

Although the harvest from the divine Deer Forest was small, both of them were thousand-year-old. None of the forty-nine stalks that Eagle Valley had obtained were over a thousand years old, and the oldest one was only nine hundred years old.

Naturally, there was no need to transplant the two 1000-year-old ones. Lu Qing had also refined them into foundation building pills. There were 11 pills in total and they were placed in the clan’s Treasury.

As for the other forty-nine, a third level Ling plant farmer who had sworn not to spread the news outside was in charge of the transplanting work. All of them were transplanted into the ancient secret realm.

There were exactly 40 golden lotuses that had been successfully transplanted.

There was no other way. There was a survival rate for transplantation. If it was a level four spirit botanist, then the survival rate might be able to reach 100%. For a level three spirit botanist to have this level was already not bad.

Even though he knew that he couldn’t blame them, it was still a heartache to lose nine golden lotuses during the transplant process.

Fortunately, the most important nine-hundred-year-old golden Lotus had been successfully transplanted.

According to the estimates of the clan’s own spirit botanist, the three oldest golden lotuses, under the blessing of the ancient secret realm, would mature in the next fifteen to twenty years.

And after that, the other golden lotuses of different years would also slowly mature in units of decades. A mature one was equivalent to about five foundation building pills. With this, the Lu clan could continue to Cultivate Foundation building cultivators.

......

Ten years passed by in a flash. During this time, the Lu family did not do much outside. They settled down and cultivated their internal strength.

However, these ten years were also the golden years for the Lu clan to develop.

The Lu family had changed a lot in the past ten years.
